The ship (that leaves from the UK) will take a couple of months to get to and from Antarctica. I have things leaving on ship this month, which will get there just before I arrive in January. As I'm only there for a short amount of time (there are some going for 18 months!), there wouldn't be anyone to pass anything on to.
